What Causes Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder discomfort may be caused by an acute injury, a degenerative process or injury of the soft tissue structures that surround the joint, including the rotator cuff tendons, bursa and ligaments.
You are most at risk
for shoulder pain if you
- Play sports that require overhead motions (e.g. baseball, softball and tennis)
- Perform physical jobs that require repetitive shoulder motions
- Are over 40 years old
